Chaing Mai is a city in Thailand that’s brimming with temples, beautiful landscapes and stunning backstreets. It’s the northern capital of Thailand so it is very busy with many tourists, however, the former seat of the Lanna kingdom is still blissfully calm and laid-back. This is the go to place for a spot of relaxation, especially after a long train or bus journey to the city, and you can then dig into some wonderful food after, whilst soaking up the delightful scenery. Chiang Mai has so many temples, so be prepared to take some ‘temple pants’ with you as you will need to cover your legs before entering, and sometimes arms too if you’re wearing a vest, but as long as you pack a light backpack with a camera that’s all you need. We recommend you stay light to explore everything this delightful city has to offer. A trip to Chiang Mai will not be forgotton.
